Listening to a discussion about AI in university education with Amol Rajan & Prof Duncan Iveston on Radio 4 Today. Too short to get into the nuance of course, but an observation that copilot can do a literate review for you very quickly perfectly illustrates one of my main concerns with AI…1/1

In a change from World News (it isn't really. This too is World News - to me at least): I've had my car washed and valeted. The inside of the car no longer smells like 5 wet spaniels. Thank you for coming to my spaniel talk

I'm seeing some de Gaulle traffic this morning. Some interesting views but... I remember him as a French isolationist who withdrew France from NATO, and was only interested in the EC as long as France held the reins, and the other members did as France told them. Still, that's only my memory

I am absolutely hating the audiobook of Jean Rhys' biography I Used To Live Here Once. Shockingly misscast narrator (Diana Quick) is completely ruining the book, and offers no redeeming qualities

This is fascinating:
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Awesome letter
Neil Coyle MP has written a brutal takedown letter to Nigel Farage for his breach of parliamentary protocol, because Farage visited Coyle's London constituency without notifying him. 10/10 no notes.
